Webmaster (film)


Webmaster is a 1998 Danish cyberpunk thriller film.
Directed by Thomas Borch Nielsen, it stars Danish actor Lars Bom as the cerebral, machine-like hacker-turned-webmaster J.B., who performs his job while hanging upside down, wearing virtual reality goggles, his mind busy deep inside cyberspace. Upon witnessing a murder, he teams up with the impulsive, energetic Miauv.
The film won a Silver Grand Prize at the 1999 Brussels International Festival of Fantasy Film and a Danish Robert Award for Best Production Design.
Webmaster was financed by the Danish bank Forstædernes Bank; the final production cost was not disclosed by neither the producers nor the director. The film was met with mixed reviews when it was released in Denmark in 1998.
